wearing fake turban here and there
throughout the country preaching saintly
ramble on as if you don't need material
but in fact also involved acute corruption

whatever you say for the people is important
but actually you steal people's money
manipulating state funds for means of sexual desire
enjoy the paradise of the world tasting 'pesing'

acting as if religion fighters turned out to be depraved
claiming to be a defender of the people
but really committing immorality
you want to improve the welfare of the people
the fact is only to fulfill the need for lust

act as pretentious politicians as most polite
but it turns out that the 'fustun' collector
for the sake of venting consecutive passions
in order to look moral the verses are sung

slowly but surely your disgrace is known
impersonate fighters of justice but hurt the people
shouting prosperity but looting
deserve your nickname 'true enforcer of sleaze'
